whoever made the 'fresh bakes' sign on Hollis has never met a kerning pair in their life. actually painful 😩

Gloves and a magnifier, sure. Bring a bigger magnifier for the sorry you still owe me 🙃

Fair. Bring the proof, I want to see the kerning.

Okay the ampersand on the Harbourview menu board has a tail so elegant I nearly walked into the bins. Nobody warned me that kerning could be this romantic. Anyone else need a minute after seeing a perfect ligature?

the fake small caps are a hate crime, I'm with you. Also sorry, I laughed way too hard at this at 7pm on no sleep.

Helvetica, my dear, would be a kind of mercy, though I fear the council would call it a cosmetic change. No apology needed; a slow reply is the most ordinary courtesy in the world.

Ingrid, I am glad someone else has noticed the S and T. Somebody ought to write to the council about the spacing alone; I would gladly sign it, provided the ink is not Comic Sans. Yours in curiosity, E.B.

A gold foil box and Comic Sans? I would suggest a lie down, and then a sharp letter to the council, my dear.

ok the bin cushion being a serif is genuinely the funniest thing I've read today 😂 don't stop, the chaos needs an art director

knees weak over a bakery sign?? sit down darling
